Easiest T25?

[Anonymous]

What's the easiest top school to get into?

From where? If you’re in California, UCLA and Berkeley. If you live in Michigan, university of Michigan.

Of the privates, probably CMU or Chicago or Cornell if you do ED. But instead of looking at it as what’s the most likely reach to get into, start firm the bottom up. Identify safeties and matches your kid would absolutely be happy going to and work up from there. Pick the reach that’s the best fit, not the most likely. Because they are all unlikely.

UVA, UofM, UC’s especially if in-state, Chicago ED1

VA TECH

ED WashU, Emory, UVA.

Michigan, UCLA, and Berkeley if in state. But some programs like computer science very difficult.

This is such a dumb question. You want top 25 (according to US News I presume) just to say it’s top 25? No regard for fit or location or vibe? Just where can my kid get in to say it’s top 25? Smh.

Have your kid consider his interests, temperament and preferences and focus on the fit instead. T-25 has all kinds of schools and the metrics behind the rankings are fluid and somewhat dubious? The right fit could easily be outside the T-25.

WashU Emory or CMU in ED

There is no easiest top school. there are easy majors and hard majors. it is much harder to get into Cornell Eng and Cornell CAS than ILR and HumEc Cornell.

Good point.
Cornell Hotel Management is one of the easiest.
CMU ED is one of the easiest but not for College of CS or even Engineering.

Definitely Emory and Wash U ED1/2 unless in state for one of the state schools. Emory Oxford in particular took some really mid (as the kids would say) candidates last year from our school.

It depends on your HS?

Our private can get 4 ED into WashU and 3-4 into Emory…
Usually kids with no shot elsewhere in T25.

Emory ED does have a more generous admit rate as does Emory-Oxford. No denying that. It’s interesting that Georgia parents seem to view Emory more favorably as a good choice for their kid than people in the Northeast corridor (where it’s viewed as a fallback or last resort). For Georgia parents, it’s close to home, has access to Atlanta, and is a smaller option in a state dominated by a large flagship and a top engineering/tech university.
